If there are 13 homologues in a primary spermatocyte, that means the sperm will contain half that number since the number of chromosomes is halved during meiosis. Therefore, a sperm from that primary spermatocyte would contain 6.5 chromosomes, which is not a practical biological number because chromosomes cannot be divided in half.
